2-Chloro-5-methylphenol is a thermophilic chemical used as an analytical reagent in the determination of fatty acids, benzoates, and phenols. It can be used to determine the presence of these compounds in foodstuffs or environmental samples. 2-Chloro-5-methylphenol is typically determined by chromatographic methods that involve two steps: (1) acidification of the sample followed by extraction with hexane and (2) derivitization with heptadecanoic anhydride. The endpoints are validated using a population growth bioassay, which shows that 2-chloro-5-methylphenol inhibits bacterial growth at concentrations above 0.5 ppm and is considered a fumigant at concentrations of 1 ppm and above. This chemical has been shown to have functional groups (i.e., carbonyl group) that can react with various molecules, such as DNA, RNA, proteins, etc.,
